It's failing on testtk, which makes sense, because it's running as a background twisted process, and thus can't access the window server. It doesn't really make sense. It should skip the test, instead of failing it. I.e. aborting the Python process is definitely not a good response. Yes, you're right. It's a bug in the test.

No, I'd say it's even deeper, in the Tcl integration.

There shouldn't be a way to cause an interpreter abort, except by calling os.abort().
